Install gates at Marapikurrinya Park

Marapikurrinya Park had $520,000 worth of play equipment installed in June 2017. The lack of enclosed fencing and the direct and exposed access to the busy carpark and the viewing platform creates an imminent risk to the safety of children. As residents of Port Hedland, we request that the Town of Port Hedland consider fully fencing the Marapikurrinya Park playground area.

The frequency and mix of traffic in the carpark and the close proximity of open water to the play area increases the risk of a significant incident occurring.

Having the area fully fenced and being able to confine children to the play area will create a safer playing enviroment. This in turn will create a more enjoyable experience for local and visiting families.
